Marianne,

Looks to me like it keeps the source formatting to some extent. If pasting
to Excel, you may get some blank columns due to extra tabs, but that's easy

to remedy.

If pasting to Notepad or other text, it appears you get spaces in place of
tabs.

Give it a try yourself with tables and pasting to various applications, and

you'll get the idea.

I'm very impressed with this capability that's existed for a long time with

JAWS. I just never remembered to use it. My thanks to the poster who
originally brought it to our attention.

If I use this will it keep the source formatting or Do I need to tell
the computer to keep the source formatting?

Not only in PDF files, you can use this method wherever the JAWS uses
virtual curser.

There is a way to copy tables, preserving all original formatting in the
process. First, press the letter t from within the web page or PDF
document
to navigate to the table. JAWS will announce the table's dimensions.
Then,
press F8 to select the entire table. Once this is done, you can copy
the
selection and paste it into the desired location. I hope this helps.

I don't think so. Tables usually end up trashed when copied and pasted.
If
you can save the PDF as a Microsoft Word document, then it may preserve
the
table formatting.

Hi all:
Is there a way to copy any table and a fillable PDF file to another
document?
Instead of typing it all out again?
I am using jaws 14 and Windows 7.

Sincerely,

Lauren Snyder, Ph.D.
